At the mention of “mens underwear” most people picture white briefs, old-fashioned long-johns, or perhaps some boxers with a fun pattern on them. Kawaii is another Japanese street fashion that has been accepted all over the world by teenagers. The term which means ‘cute’ is translated to this style in the form of extremely feminine clothes like short skirts and t-shirts with cute cartoon characters emblazoned on them. Understanding how history shaped our present and influences as it affects and effect and infects us in formulating the future is important. Understanding how things got to be the way they are is of prime importance in deconstructing the imposed amnesia regarding African history, culture, customs, traditions, languages and practices.

In terms of women’s fashion, dress shopping is probably one of the trickiest things a woman has to do. Choosing the right dress for any occasion can spell success or disaster: pick the wrong gown and no amount of accessorizing will fix the mistake. The state of the African South African nation is in dire straights. This is because of what we know and do not know as an African collective. We know that being in modernity and becoming technophiles is in keeping up with the times-its gizmos and metadata streams.

I choose to see ourselves as a collectives of nations that are part of one Untied Nation of Mzantsi. for us to even think … Read the rest
Skin is the largest organ of your body and covers every inch of it. You need to give due importance to body skin care in order to ensure your skin remains healthy and beautiful. Every product you research should have a label. It is not always the gospel truth but make sure you examine it carefully. It should declare what ingredients and their proportions are contained in the product. If you not sure of anything, ask for help. The rule is, if you do not know what it is, do not use it. This is an uphill battle, but we are in it, on it and at it. We have books that deal and describe our culture written as early as the 1800, from which we can cull whatever we need for the 21 century, and make them suit the aims and goals of our communitiesI have cited a few … Read the rest
Now that you are in your 20s, you may not consider a skin care routine is for you. This is a stellar list of New African intellectuals (including a composer) who wrote in the African languages. Only H. I. E. Dhlomo participated as a representative of African literature in the English language. The invitees who could not make it to the conference were equally stellar: J. J. R. Jolobe (1902-1978), H. M. Ndawo (?-?), S. E. K. Mqhayi, Thomas Mofolo, H. Maimane (?-?), and R. R. R. Dhlomo. Among the Europeans who participated were the missionaries: R. H. W. Shepherd, Margaret Wrong, A. Sandilands; and the editors of the Bantu Studies scholarly journal, C. M. Doke (1893-1980) and J. D. Rheinallt Jones.

Can you ever think of going out of home without wearing a pair of shoes? Can culture and art mix? Yes, the two are synonymous. It is evident in the performances of JGeeks. Their ancestors lived communally and shared their beliefs, knowledge, customs, rituals and so on. Their heritage was then passed down from their ancestors and is expressed culturally in this medium on stage. The creativity of JGeeks is cultural, entertaining and intelligent. The arts and culture are one in the same, and it is developed over time through personal perspectives from their origins. Creativity or insight is the initiator of art and culture and is a key component in the art process. “The transmission of African culture for the purposes of socializing the community must, first and foremost, must be under the control of the African Community.

These days, skin care experts and dermatologists alike promote the benefits of natural skin care. It is therefore bogus to claim that the Africans of South Africa arrived in South Africa at the time when the Dutch Settlers landed in the Cape, for a trading station and gathering of Fresh food for their trip around the bottom of South Africa, hugging the East coast all the way to India and China, for spices, cloth and other goods. “In East Africa, the pastoralist expansion was lined to the diffusion of breed of humped zebu cattle. These breeds were known to in Christian Nubia but on the White Niles region and the Horn of Africa they are to be found only after 1200 AD.
